So, I don't get a lot of validation for the boy half of me. Which is...yanno, I'm genderqueer, I'm not trans, it feels like too much hassle to correct everyone's pronouns and name and whatnot, especially since my periods of being strongly gendered are so intermittent and weird.
But anyways, I certainly am a dude some days, and it makes me happy when people remember that or notice that --if I'm wearing my "Erik" badge at squares, or flagging a purple bandana, or binding, or dressed the part of a gentleman, I probably wish to be referred to as one. And sometimes people talk to me as Erik, and even if they are talking to me as Kat or Sor other times, it's wondrous to get that moment of validation.
Anyways, all that bullshit rambling is a lead up to this:

BEST. HAT. EVER. OMG. THANK YOU HAR!
--PopTartsKing (who in all rights should be called Sorcyrer, but fuck that, I like being PTK, it's comfortable)
MOOP!
(Postscript, for explanation: Purple is my colour. Orange is Kat's colour. Rich, deep, royal purple --this hat is exactly the right shade-- is the sort of thing that makes me squee and bounce and want to put together into just splendid costume. So this hat is not only a present for me, but it's a present for me in my colour. Ee!)

happy that that hat fills you with so much squee! i mean seriously tears of joy! Yay! :'D
You are so very welcome!
*now starts pondering a matching one for Kat in orange* >.>
P.S. I keep forgetting to mention but the yarn I used for that hat was leftover from the same skein I used to make that certain other endowment for you. Just so you can have a Special Wee Giggle over that as well ;D
